David Bruce(1916-1976)

Bruce's brief stardom and fall from it is the subject of "Errol Flynn", a song by his daughter, Amanda McBroom (The Rose (1979)). Bruce costarred in three Errol Flynn films, Lo sparviero del mare (1940), I pascoli dell'odio (1940), and Le avventure di Don Giovanni (1948). Hence the lyric, "But he held my hand tight as he pointed his name out/Only four or five names down below Errol Flynn".
